Gunmen opened fire early Sunday at a bar in southeast Mexico, killing six people and injuring at least five others, according to local media reports. The shooting took place in the coastal province of Tabasco, which is struggling with a recent increase in violence. Public Safety Secretary Omar García Harfuch said on X that the shooting happened in Villahermosa and that federal authorities are working with local officials to help solve the crime. No arrests were reported, and it wasn’t immediately clear what prompted the shooting. Videos posted on social media show people fleeing the bar while some survivors stayed with the victims as police arrived. Sunday’s attack was the latest violent incident to occur as a new president inherits a whirlwind of violence. Earlier this month, gunmen opened fire in a bar in central Mexico killing 10 people and injuring 13. The attack took place in the historic city center of Querétaro in a region that until recently had long been spared the violence seen in neighboring states like Guerrero.

Most pass rushers in the NFL switch sides and rush from various alignments. That includes all the elite players, mainly so that defensive coordinators can get them free from the attention that they will face on a down-to-down basis. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers do not move T.J. Watt around at all. He rushes off the right tackle all season with very little care paid attention to switching sides or rushing over the interior. The question would be, why? According to insider Mark Kaboly, he believes that Watt might be the one who is resistant to flipping sides. "I don’t know how much he wants to do that,” Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan’s Morning Show . “I think partially it has to do with him. He just likes coming from...I mean you remember his rookie year, he was on the other side, didn’t really like it. They flipped him and Bud Dupree and then all of a sudden he took off. But at this point, you’re gonna have to do something a little different. I guarantee if you ask Teryl Austin, he’d be like, ‘Oh we move him around.’ Yeah, you move him around two or three times a game, if that.” Watt leads the NFL in chip rate and consistently gets double-teamed. The Steelers have one of the lowest blitz rates in the NFL. When it comes down to it, Watt does need to move around to get himself free and allow the Steelers' pass rush to pop even more. Whether it is his own opinion or the coaching staff’s, something needs to change, or games such as the one that happened in Cleveland could continue to happen.

Scholastic Corporation Announces Third Quarter DividendThe dreaded “gales of November” on the Great Lakes pose a threat to commercial shipping from Duluth, Minnesota, to Kingston, Ontario — and everywhere in between. One place that gets special attention during storm season is the narrow passage through the Straits of Mackinac between Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, a 30-mile stretch that connects Lakes Michigan and Huron. Federal, state and county officials are now working together with ship owners and private industry to help minimize the chance of collisions, anchor strikes or other serious accidents at the scenic location. A major player in that effort is the Enbridge Straits Maritime Operations Center, just west of St. Ignace. Known as ESMOC, the center integrates advanced technology and human expertise into a “layered defense system” that both monitors and alerts shipping traffic in the Straits. The center also shares information and resources with the Coast Guard, first responders and area law enforcement agencies. Local officials call it their “eyes on the water.” To provide updates on ESMOC, Enbridge representatives and local law officials hosted an information session about the $50 million ops center at the Michigan Association of Counties conference in Traverse City this fall. ESMOC became fully operational at its current facility in 2022. Its primary mission is to protect the Line 5 pipeline from anchor strikes and other ship-related hazards. Mike Davanzo, who leads the ESMOC team, called it a temporary measure during tunnel construction. The former U.S. Coast Guard captain with 44 years of maritime experience, including 12 years in the Great Lakes region, said his team monitors almost every type of vessel that crosses through the Straits. Hundreds of ships pass over Line 5 and under the Mackinac Bridge every year. Some are enormous ore boats called “lakers,” while others are international cargo ships called “salties.” Add to that list pleasure craft, tugboats, passenger ferries and various patrol boats. “We know 12 hours in advance the name, size and type of ship that’s coming towards the Straits, thanks in part to AIS,” Davanzo said, referring to the Automated Identification System now in use. “We’re never surprised when a ship enters the area.” After an anchor strike in 2018, the Coast Guard established a “regulated navigation area” in the area of the Straits that includes Line 5. Ships passing through that zone are forbidden to anchor or loiter there. In addition to AIS, the ops center uses a wide variety of electronic monitoring and communications equipment throughout the day and night. These include: Other provisions add to this “layered-defense” strategy. For example, ships entering the Straits are required to have a licensed maritime pilot on the bridge. Captains of U.S. and Canadian cargo ships operating on the Great Lakes (the lakers) already meet that requirement. However, international ships (the so-called salties) may be required to add a local pilot to their crew during the Straits passage. ESMOC doesn’t operate in a vacuum, but rather serves as a force multiplier for law enforcement, Coast Guard and emergency management officials in seven counties on both sides of the bridge. One such partner is Bryce Tracy, the 911 coordinator for Mackinac County in the Upper Peninsula. “Living in the Straits area is like being in the middle part of an hourglass,” Tracy said. “We’ve got traffic coming through by almost every mode of transport: big ships, pleasure boats, cars, trucks and aircraft.” “In summer, the transient population is 10 times larger,” he added. “We have to maintain partnerships at all levels to handle the load — not just collaboration, but also technical interoperability and personal relationships with those directly responsible. “It’s like concentric layers of an onion.” More than 4 million vehicles cross the Mackinac Bridge each year, according to state records. The busiest months are July and August, when the bridge sees an average of 20,000 vehicles per day. John Malnar is a county commissioner in Delta County, which borders the northern shore of Lake Michigan in the U.P. Malnar noted that ESMOC cameras can have more than one useful function: “We’ve had to rescue people out on the lake more than once and the Enbridge high-resolution cameras have helped us locate those people so we can send a boat to the right location. “That same technology would be a great help if there’s ever a need for a pollution response.” In an event of a leak, Line 5 could be shut down in about 15 minutes, according to Paul Meneghini, community engagement manager for Enbridge, who works out of Escanaba. Automatic shut-off valves are installed on both sides of the Straits, according to Enbridge spokesman Ryan Duffy. At any given time, about 5,000 barrels of “product” — petroleum and natural gas liquids — are in the Straits section of the dual-pipe line, he added. Completed in 1953, Line 5 carries about 540,000 barrels of petroleum and natural gas liquids per day from Superior, Wisconsin, through the Upper Peninsula and then on to the Lower Peninsula. Much of that material continues on to Ontario via a pipeline between Port Huron and Sarnia. The section of Line 5 under the Straits consists of two parallel, 20-inch-diameter pipes that run for about 4.5 miles from Point LaBarbe in the U.P. to McGulpin Point just west Mackinaw City in the south — the shortest path between the two peninsulas. Not far away, American Transmission Company operates two underwater power circuits with solid dielectric insulation. In April 2018, ATC’s previous two cables leaked about 600 gallons of dielectric insulating fluid into the Great Lakes when a tugboat with barge apparently dragged its anchor through the prohibited area. After analyzing data from the 2018 incident, Consumers Energy decided to remove its own decommissioned cables from the Straits, a project completed in September 2020. AT&T still operates a fiber-optic cable under the Straits. If a new Great Lakes Tunnel is built to house the Straits portion of Line 5, Enbridge officials say ESMOC could find a new use as an emergency response and/or water safety monitoring system.
